Rachel Pimm with Lori E Allen 'Worming Out of Shit'

A special online commission for Chisenhale Gallery’s website produced as part of our 21st Century programme. A live version of Worming out of shit was performed by Rachel Pimm in collaboration with Lori E Allen at Chisenhale Gallery on 20 August 2015.

The work has developed from Pimm’s research into the roles of soil strata and landfill in the composition of the earth’s surface. It explores her interest in the instability that results from the aggregation of organic and man-made materials and our coexistence with naturally occurring architectures.
